How to perform Bent-Knee Hip Raise
- Lie on your back with your arms beside you, knees bent about 75 degrees, and feet just above the floor.
- Keep that knee angle as you bring your knees toward your chest.
- Curl your pelvis toward your ribs so your hips lift from the floor, rather than swinging your legs.
- Pause briefly at the top with your knees over your chest.
- Unroll your pelvis and lower your legs under control to the starting position.
